Most shorts are simply trying to make money just like all the rest of us.

Just my opinion....take it FWIW.

I understand that shorting is a part of the market and we "need" them to some extent. But watching the shorts rejoice in the year following 9/11 was particularly distasteful to me personally. When a bomb goes off or a plane crashes somewhere in the world, I do not profit, nor should I. Anyone who has made money on the short side over the past year has probably at least in part made it because a tragedy has befallen someone somewhere. This is wrong no matter how you try to justify it.

Again, I am probably alone in this belief, but so be it. Watching the behavior of the shorts over the past year, I am not sure I could ever engage in that activity, even 50 years from now.
